Coq au Vin
Coq au Vin is a classic French dish that originated in the Burgundy region. The recipe involves braising chicken cooked in red wine, mushrooms, onions, and bacon. This hearty dish is typically served with boiled potatoes, buttered noodles, or crusty bread. The slow-cooked chicken absorbs the rich flavors of the wine sauce, resulting in tender and juicy meat. The combination of flavors and textures creates a delightful culinary experience. Coq au Vin is perfect for special occasions or a cozy night in with friends and family.

Step-by-Step Instructions
1
Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper. Heat the butter in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken thighs until browned on both sides, about 5-7 minutes per side. Remove the chicken from the pot and set aside.
2
Add the bacon to the pot and cook until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the bacon from the pot and set aside with the chicken.
3
Add the onions to the pot and cook until caramelized, about 10-12 minutes. Add the mushrooms and cook until they release their moisture and start to brown, about 5 minutes.
4
Add the flour to the pot and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly. Add the red wine, tomato paste, and thyme to the pot. Stir to combine and bring to a boil.
5
Return the chicken and bacon to the pot, cover, and transfer to the oven. Braise the Coq au Vin for 25-30 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened.
